‘What have you done for us?’ asked a West Delhi resident. ‘Bharat mata ki jai,’ answered the BJP MP
Bollywood actor Anupam Kher responded the same way when campaigning for BJP candidate – his wife – Kirron Kher in Chandigarh.
During a public meeting, the MP of the West Delhi constituency, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Parmesh Verma, was asked to list the work he has done in his constituency in the past five years. Instead of replying, he declared “Bharat mata ki jai” and wrapped up the event.
Verma’s first response was to tell the questioner to “read up on it”. When the man persisted, Verma asked about his educational qualifications, and told the audience to chant “Bharat mata ki jai”. A policeman can be seen on the video recording the incident on his phone.
